Pretty good list, happy to see Killers so high as I still think despite being re-printed way too many places that's the coolest Eddie.

My two favorite metal covers are Mastodon's "Leviathan" and Mercyful Fate's "Don't Break the Oath". Both exceedingly simple covers with one stark image that tells you exactly what kind of music is contained inside, and just makes you go "Whoa, awesome."

And yeah Painkiller was in that list but I decided against it in the end.

Lol. I just love that Opeth cover.

Choosing The System has Failed over Painkiller is blasphemy. :mad:

Did you have a good time at the Maiden show?

I always thought the devil on that cover was fucking lame looking. Conceptually cool, poorly executed.

Pretty sure that ain't the original. Iced Earth covers always rule although the music doesn't always.
